Apparently, it's not true outside of libraryland unless it's confirmed by a resource that costs more than a modest amount of money. ls.

I'm probably missing something here, but haven't these "methods of doing research on the world wide web, that have not been available in the past" actually been around for years?

Changing Patterns In Internet Research 

I have just completed updating two sites 
and have found in the process, methods 
of doing research on the world wide web, 
that have not been available in the past. 

City Of Davis and Yolo County, California 
http://academic-genealogy.com/cityofdavisyolocountycalifornia.htm 
(1) This site is representative of any location 
resource in the world. It is now possible 
to supplement local library systems with 
Google Book search records, some being 
fully available at home, in the public domain. 

(2) Local news, on an ongoing daily basis, 
is available throughout the world, which will 
usually include access to current obituaries. 

(3) Comprehensive information can be linked, 
to include current record sources, information 
on the past, as well as maintenance of family 
friendly resources, to motivate youth groups. 

(4) Facebook resources are now pertinent, 
in such areas as organizational contacts; 
city sites and groups, alumni, etc.
